To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that l, ANNIE CALLER, of A1 bany, in the county of Albanyand State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement inMeat-Broilers, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription. The object of I the invention is to so improve theconstruction of broilers as to provide forthe ready turning of the ineatwithout removing it from the broiler and without removing the latterfrom the fire.

To this end the invention consists in a folding skeleton frame soconnected to guide-rods on thehlh was. tnhe. readily-moved to either hdof said and either member of said frame presented to the fire, and indetails of construction, as herein particularly described,

and pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the aocinnpanying drawings, forminge part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a meat broiler constructed. innccordance'with inyinvention, the skeleton meat-clamping frame beingopened. Fig. 2 is a side View, the circle ton frame being; closed and inthe lowered position, the dotted lines indicating said frame in raisedposition and adopted to be moved to either end of the base to presenteither face of the same to the fire. Fig. 3 is a plan view of theskeleton frame opened, and Fig. its a perspectiveview of .a hookemployed to tunn the skeleton frame and to hang up the broiler.

The baseor body of the broiler consists, preferably, of a rectangularframe, A, providedwith suitable supporting-legs, u, and with a handle,15.

The frame A is an open one, and extending across the same from front torear are two wires or rods, A, which serve to support the meaoclamping'frame C, and-to which the said frame is pivot-ally secured.

The frame 0 consists of the two members 0 C formed of wire or lightmetal bars, and preferably constructed with a rectangular frame, (2, anda series of longitudinal wires or bars, 0. The two sections C are hingedtogether by means of rings 0 c, the two outer or end rings, c 0 thereofalso being. caused to embrace the rodsA of body it.

In using' the broiler the meat is placed be tween the members 0 G of theframe, and the latter are clamped or held together by means of asuitable catch, 0 on one member engaging the opposite fra1ne,c, oftheother member. The meat having been broiled suf ficiently on one side,the frame containing the same is engaged by the hook D at any convenientportion of the free end of the framethat is, the end opposite the hingedendand the Whole frame raised vertically, turning on its hinges,whereupon the hinged end may 'be moved alone; the guide rods or wires A"to the opposite end of the base or body'A,

and lowered to present the opposite member of the frame and the uncookedside of the meat to the fire.

To the handle B are secured, or upon it are formed, a series of eyes,1), which are adapted torreceive the hook D when the broiler is not.

in use. The hooked end (1 of the hook is passed through the eyes I) andcaused to enthe inner eye, I), wherel'iy the eye 61',

formed on the handle end'of the: hook, may be passed over a nail and thebroiler thus hung; up. The latter arrangement is also desirable, becauseit insuresthe presence of both the hook and broiler when required foruse, and prevents the former from being mislaid orlost.

Having thus fully describcd'niy invention, 1 claim as new and desirePutent- .l. A broiler comprising an open frame havin g paralleicrossrods or wires and. areversible meat holding frame having a slidinghingeconnection at one endwith said cross rods,
